Home sick from school show
For the first time since the day after the Super Bowl in 1999, when I was living in Denver, and Denver happened to win the Super Bowl, I was home sick from work yesterday. This time, I was actually sick – last time, I might have brought it on myself.
I didn’t feel good enough to do any work, but I felt good enough to watch TV, so I turned on Joost (which worked surprisingly well with my stolen Wi-Fi connection), and turned on the classic home sick from school show – The Price is Right.
Let’s face it – the audience of that show is kids who are home “sick” from school and perhaps a couple of retirees. But I would bet the number of kids far outnumbers the number of retirees. TPiR games are classics – Plinko, Cliff Hangers (a.k.a. the yodeling game), the Dice Game, Three Strikes – and of course, the Showcase Showdown.
Fun as that was, I couldn’t spend the entire day watching people “come on down,” so I turned to that other staple of home sick from school viewing – classic TV shows. After a couple of hours of Benson, News Radio and Married...With Children, I was over that, so just started browsing around. And that’s when I found my little gem of the day – the VFS Drama & Documentary channel. Room for Rudeness, and I was hooked. I wish I could unleash my inner b*!@h like these waitresses and get paid for it.
